In short unless you gave them a written assignment of rights to use your stuff your company retains copyright in all the materials your company produced. Send their host the same DMCA specifying where your works are on their sites including the URLs. The host will jerk their sites down for copyright violations to avoid copyright liability themselves. Depending on how vital your designs are to their various sites they will have to pay you if they want to keep the sites up. If nobody pays and the sites go down then you know there is nothing to get. Either way it won?t take you more than 30 minutes of work.

This is an interesting idea, never dealt with DCMA, going have to look into it. Although they can take it down or didn't even put it up; as unpaid only is a "small" portion of mostly promo work. Actually just checked invoices, there are some sites in there too, not their main once, those where taken care of last year.
